Employees in the food and hospitality, retail, and construction
sectors were the quickest to secure employment
SEATTLE, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ResumeBuilder.com, the premier resource for
professional resume templates and career advice, has published a
recent survey report assessing the current job market and the
challenge of finding new employment. The report also sheds light on
the use of AI in job searches. Researchers gathered and analyzed
survey data from 738 recent job seekers.
"Despite media emphasis on layoffs and
perceived market instability, it's important to recognize that
specific industries are affected differently."
According to the survey, 70 percent of recently employed
individuals landed a job within three months of their job search,
while 26 percent successfully did so within a single month.
Additionally, 22 percent secured employment within four to six
months, 5 percent within seven to 11 months, and 3 percent within a
year or longer.
The survey findings also highlight the duration it took to
secure employment across various industries. Respondents in the
food and hospitality, retail, construction, and computer and
information technology sectors were the most likely to report they
successfully landed a job within three months. Conversely, workers
in the education, business and finance industries were the least
likely to report finding employment within three months.
Overall, the majority of respondents report they received
multiple job offers. Specifically, 34 percent of respondents
received one offer, while 38 percent received two offers, 20
percent received three offers, and 7% received four or more
offers.
"Despite media emphasis on layoffs and perceived market
instability, it's important to recognize that specific industries
are affected differently. Our survey data illustrates that
individuals seeking positions in industries with robust hiring
trends are experiencing a strong job market and finding new
positions quickly," says Resume Builder's Chief Career Advisor
Stacie Haller.

used AI during their job search. Within this group, 65 percent
utilized AI for resume creation, 54 percent for interview
preparation, 45 percent for cover letter writing, and 41 percent
for email composition. Furthermore, among those surveyed, 27
